1. It came on accidentally for a while, but then I changed it.
Try as I might, I just can't get myself to care. I simply don't "get it", in terms of why people care about it. But, all the power to you who enjoy the sport and get excited about it.

That and I find tennis to be more boring to watch than basketball or baseball on TV.

2. I play tennis so I appreciate their skill level
I also like the human drama that is more evident in an individual sport.

3. I am watching the tour
well, it is in the backround on TV, right now I am sitting on my computer obviously :)

But how is it standing between Maurismo and Henin-Hardenne? I want Henin-Hardenne to win

8. I started watching tennis when Bjorn Borg
was in his prime...and they still played with wooden rackets.
